Undergraduate research: focus on Northern Englishes

Continuing our mini-celebration of our undergraduate research, in this post we'll be detailing the work that our students have conducted on Northern English dialects and language use.

'Uddersfield as a university is proud to exist in and for the communities of West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas, as well as for anyone else who wishes to come and join us!
